There's a lot of news coming out of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, but since we can't compete with the well-funded gadget blogs, I suggest you read up on the details at The Verge (or Engadget). One thing stood out to me, though. While the entire industry is moving towards more cores, more megapixels, more gigahertz, more display inches - Microsoft is doing the exact opposite. Windows Phone has been updated and optimised to run on slower hardware.

It's upto the OEMs to release devices with more storage. Right now, the sales of Windows Phone devices is pretty low, so the companies are probably limiting to the specs that are most popular. If Windows Phone becomes popular, only then will you see devices with more variety.
